Ep. 057 - Jeff Haanen - Redefining Retirement: Finding Purpose & Faith Beyond Work

Second Half Stewardship

In this episode of Second Half Stewardship, we are privileged to have a meaningful conversation with Jeff Haanen, founder of the Denver Institute of Faith & Work and author of An Uncommon Guide to Retirement: Finding God’s Purpose for the Next Season of Life.

Jeff shares a fresh perspective on retirement, moving beyond the traditional "vacation" model to explore a biblical framework that emphasizes purpose, rest, and re-engagement in one's later years. Join us as we unpack how faith can shape a fulfilling life after retirement and redefine our approach to work, rest, and legacy.
